In a club statement, Jardim said: "I'm grateful and
proud to have been Monaco coach for more than four years. I've always given my
very best and worked with passion. We achieved some great victories together
and I'll always keep those memories."

Monaco chief executive Vadim Vasilyev added: "I want to
thank Leonardo with deepest respect for all the work he has done.

"His time here will remain as one of the most beautiful
pages in the history of the club.

"Leonardo will still be part of the Monaco
family."

There are insinuations that this news potentially opens the way for Thierry Henry to become the French club's next boss after their former striker was linked with the role.

Former France and Arsenal star Henry, 41, began his career at Monaco and helped them win Ligue 1 in 1997.
